Hell yeah.

It’s way more normal-sounding than “Scholar of the First Sin”

No, it’s “Make mistakes!”

Episode 63 of Welcome to Nightvale is called There Is No Part 1: Part 2.
It’s a podcast, but it does fit your requirement more precisely than perhaps any videogame.

Same with DOTA

Opassan

No, they’re saying “a possum”

Isekai but it’s every single member of the population
And each one got stuffed into a different genre but they all still have to interact with each other

Take chances!

So much character growth in this post

Pretty sure Krukenberg was a cenobite

Ohhhh. Yeah I did wonder.

Weep with them, as one in France

I really wanted them to lead into a retelling of TOS. Oh jeez, a modern retelling of City on the Edge of Forever?

That kinda just seems like you’re playing the game for them.

Another core philosophy is to paint with a broad stroke, and to leave holes.
If a player is looking at an object and thinks “this should do something”, they’re right.
I only gave one example of something that might go wrong. Here are a few more:

• The door wasn’t trapped, but your suspicious behavior drew attention
• The door was trapped, but there is no immediate indication of what it does when you trip it
• The door is a normal door but you realize it’s not the one you were looking for
• The door was trapped, it grabs onto your hand and screams
• The door wasn’t trapped, but in your investigation, you accidentally jam the mechanism
• The door was trapped. You open your eyes and the sun is on the other side of the sky
• The door wasn’t trapped, but you find that the lock is suspiciously intricate for what was supposed to be on the other side and will take tools and time that you don’t have in order to open it
• The door was trapped, but not in a way that you noticed, and also without your notice, it now leads to a different place
• The door wasn’t trapped, but in your intense concentration, you didn’t notice your pocket being picked. Choose one item that would suck to lose

All of these lead to more interesting story and play, and most importantly, bring the players into what was always meant to be collaborative storytelling.

Throw out the book. Nothing is meant to be anything, unless it is interesting and engaging.

There’s nothing more boring than “yep, nothing there” or “haha sucker, that’ll teach you for not rolling on every single door and cobblestone”.

I like your username

I really dig the PBTA model.
The door is not trapped.
The player is suspicious of the door.
The player rolls to determine if the door is trapped.
On a failure, it turns out the door was trapped and now there are interesting consequences.
On a success, it turns out that the door was trapped and the player feels good about avoiding the consequences.

Every outcome is inherently more interesting.

One might say inert.
